William P. Simmons Art Scholarship Fund

This scholarship program supports Georgia students who are pursuing a degree in art at either Wesleyan College or Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. The initiative aims to recognize and nurture artistic talent within the state. While open to undergraduate and graduate art students at these specific institutions, the selection process places a primary emphasis on students in their junior or senior years, as well as graduate students, who are focusing their studies on painting, drawing, or other visual arts. To qualify for consideration, candidates must obtain a formal referral from the Art Department of their respective university. Alongside the student recognition, the art department of the recipient's institution also receives a supportive grant to acknowledge their cooperation and dedication to fostering local artistic talent.
